Guides, how-tos, and references for using Palanor — the Enterprise Intelligence Platform.
Getting Started
Welcome to Palanor
What Palanor is, what it is not, and how to get oriented in the first ten minutes.
Your First Week
A sensible cadence for the first five working days inside Palanor.
Mobile Navigation
The 9-dot launcher in the top-left of the mobile chrome opens the full Palanor map.
The collapsible side rail
On desktop, the secondary navigation rail is collapsible. Hover to peek, click the pin toggle to lock it open.
The Palanor pilot engagement
How a six-week pilot works — what we configure, what you walk away with, and how the engagement converts to a continuing subscription.
The Palanor status page
How to read palanor.com/status — what the surfaces are, what each state means, and what the page does not tell you.
The Resources Pillar
Five surfaces of your own house — Cadence, Workstream, Finance Watch, Capital Watch, Charge — weighed against the world Intelligence is reading outside.
Practitioner, Researcher, or Steward — which account is yours
Three rings of access. Free for individuals reading the lattice, application-gated for contributors, paid for organizations running the full instrument.
Reader basics — your first ten minutes
What you get free, what to do first, and how to find the signal you care about fastest.
Member benefits — what you unlock
Writing Futures, the verification mark, Lattice Canvas, the Lab, and the personalization layer.
Modules
Reports
Branded, exportable editions — slides, PowerPoint, and PDF from the same watch.
Context News
The daily business-aware news brief, ranked against your profile.
Signal Watch
Macro signals you weight, with sparklines and the strength dial.
Scenarios
The core IP — pressure-tested futures, weighted by signals, scored continuously.
Seer
Speculative five-year futures, back-planned to today.
Council
Strategic partnership — humans alongside the platform.
Palanor Indices — the full catalog
Twelve composite indicators — six house, six thesis — each a named instrument with its own methodology page.
AI Margin Compression Index — v2 methodology
The v2 composition now incorporates quarterly AI capex from the four major hyperscalers, replacing 50 percent of the v1 proxy weight.
Updating the AI Margin Compression Index each quarter
After hyperscaler earnings, an admin enters the four AI capex values on the admin capex entry page. Save triggers an Index recompute on the spot.
Prediction markets as signals
Numen discovers stewardship-relevant prediction markets on Kalshi daily. You can also add any market by pasting its URL.
Saving a Custom Signal from Lattice Canvas
Compose a graph in Lattice Canvas, then save it as a first-class signal in your organization library.
Schema frameworks in Palanor
Ten interpretive frameworks — Dalio, Minsky, Shiller, Marks, Soros, Marathon, and Palanor’s own — scored against live signals.
Scenarios
Building Your First Scenario
Two paths, same result. How to choose, and how to use each.
Scenario Discipline
Why four scenarios is a useful default — and why we no longer enforce it.
How Probability Is Calculated
The math under the score, in plain language.
Lattice Canvas
The proprietary signal-mapping canvas — build a scenario as a graph.
How Lattice Canvas changes the scoring math
When a scenario was authored in Lattice Canvas, the typed edges between nodes reshape the probability — the topology is part of the math, not just the picture.
Reopening a scenario in Lattice Canvas
Scenarios you build in Lattice Canvas keep their graph. Open the canvas from the scenario detail page to refine the topology.
Impact Score
The ±100 number on every scenario page — what it measures, how it is computed, how to calibrate.
Sharing a Scenario
Three sharing modes — internal, public link, specific people by email — and what each one means.
Scenario History
The daily snapshot system — what is recorded, where to find it, and how to read the History Log.
Update Narrative Story (Rubric)
How to direct Numen when composing or recomposing the long-form watch for a scenario.
